Because last week, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) made history by unanimously adopting what is perhaps the most transformative clean trucks regulation ever considered—the Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) rule. This rule creates the first-ever, economy-wide, zero-emission standard for large truck fleets.

Zero-emission trucks were hardly considered viable just a few years ago, but now heavy-duty electric trucks – think semis, delivery vans, and other large commercial vehicles – are beginning to hit the roads and are poised to deliver significant benefits for clean air, climate change, and fleet operators.
